Somerset, England – April 29, 2025 – UK-based nonwoven fabric-tech company, Nonwovenn, has announced a major investment in innovation and R&D to accelerate its development of advanced technical fabrics. Focus areas include activated carbon filtration, coalescer filtration, and acoustic solutions for high-performance industrial applications.
This initiative is part of the company’s broader growth strategy, following a transformative £13 million investment across operations. This previous phase included major capital expenditures in plant and equipment, process optimization, and enhanced R&D capabilities—all self-funded.
To support rising demand, Nonwovenn will upgrade its existing impregnation line and install a second line to double production capacity. The company is also growing its team to develop next-generation solutions for respiratory protection and both air and liquid filtration.
Expanding Coalescer Filtration & Acoustic Applications
Nonwovenn is enhancing its coalescer filtration technology, designed to separate liquids from other liquids or gases—such as removing oil droplets and particles from compressed air systems. This technology supports a range of industrial sectors where high-efficiency separation is critical.
The company is also breaking new ground with acoustic nonwoven panels for ceiling, wall, and automotive applications. These panels offer a noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of up to 0.85—achieved without mineral or fiberglass mats. With demand growing, Nonwovenn aims to scale production in this segment by 70% over the next three years.
Future Opportunities in Cable Industry
Looking ahead, Nonwovenn is exploring growth in the cable manufacturing sector. R&D efforts are underway to develop swellable and semiconductive nonwoven materials to support this new direction.
Leadership Comments
“InduTech is a key growth area for Nonwovenn,” said Fabrizio Tiribilli, Industrial Business Director. “Our investments in filtration and acoustics demonstrate our focus on technical excellence and customer needs in a fast-evolving market.”
Chairman David Lamb added, “This next phase of investment moves us closer to our goal of becoming a market leader across our four industrial focus areas. The future of the industrial sector is promising, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.”
